Listen, we like to think we’re special, too — but did you know there are at least 28 other cities named Boston in the world?
With 16 Bostons in the US alone, plus 12 more across 8 countries, we are far from alone. Question: Do you think these other Bostonians also chug Dunkin like it’s water?
Here are a few notable Bostons:
- Boston, United Kingdom. Located in Lincolnshire, England, this Boston is a port town (twins) home to the largest church in England. It’s no coincidence our city shares the same name — emigrants from this city went on to establish Bostons all over the world, including good old Boston, MA.
- Boston, Ohio. This mid-west town was actually renamed “Helltown” — the town has a bizarre and tragic history that runs the gambit from toxic chemical pollution to rumors of a mutant python. The town still celebrates “Python Day.” Makes you kind of grateful for our Boston, doesn’t it?
Psst — know even more Bostons? You can add them to our map.
